crispy air, golden
apples, pears and vines — one bite,
beginning is end.
I got inspired to many haikus for the Falling Leaves challenge, but not all of them was about the falling leaves, as the prompt requested. Some were simply inspired by the season. Anyway, I still wanted to share them.
Thank you for reading! 🍂

Splendor of another kind
death takes everything in the end, but how splendid the decay can be. I'm not quite sure how much it fits into the prompt, which it to capture the fleeting beauty of the autumn leaves. But autumn leaves aren't only bright and colorful, they are also dull, dark and rotting from the moment they leave the branches. For me, there's two sides of the season (as it is to life) — and they are equally beautiful.

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

The economy of words in your haiku works perfectly here. Each line conveys both imagery and emotion, showing a keen awareness of seasonal nuance.
Oooo, crispy air, I especially loved that! I'm so happy you're sharing these although they're not what the prompt wanted. Loved it so much!
beautifully done <3
Such a perfect autumn haiku 🍂

I'm so glad the Challenge inspired so many wonderful haikus like this one. I too found inspiration and it's a great feeling. Very well done!

How sweet this one is and now I want a nice, sweet, juicy apple or pear. Great job.
